As Yuan Jingxuan spun his enormous axe, he caught sight of Chen Yi. His body abruptly sank as he exerted a ten-thousand-catty sinking force. The ground shattered beneath his feet, and he forcibly twisted his waist, sweeping his axe upward.
The axe blade flashed as it cut through the air.
But he was a step too late, and his speed fell far short of Chen Yi's. The blade reached him, but its power had yet to reach its peak.
Clang!
After that crisp ring, Chen Yi swept the Uncontested Sword downward, knocking Yuan Jingxuan's black axe aside and nearly sending it flying from his hands.
Bolstered by Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi, the power of Chen Yi's strike was formidable indeed.
But when Yuan Jingxuan realized his weapon could not withstand it, his expression abruptly turned icy. Blood surged wildly within him, drawing his body taut.
Clearly, he intended to take the Uncontested Sword's remaining power head-on with his body.
Chen Yi saw this clearly. How could he let him have his way?
Before his sword's momentum was spent, he flicked the Uncontested Sword. The blade shuddered and shifted, sending its tip straight toward Yuan Jingxuan's eyes.
Yuan Jingxuan naturally saw the trajectory of this strike. Without time to think, he instinctively raised his two-handed axe to block.
Although his movements were far too slow, he was, after all, a Barbarian warrior with extensive combat experience. As he blocked, he tilted his head slightly, narrowly avoiding having both eyes pierced by the sword.
But although he avoided a vital spot, he could not avoid that Sword Intent.
Especially with Chen Yi attacking deliberately while he was unprepared, the Uncontested Sword instantly opened a cut at the corner of Yuan Jingxuan's eye.
Blood streamed out, staining one of his eyes red.
